Edit: Going to post all the updates regarding this in this thread, rather than cluttering up the month with a dozen update posts for this.

Production sketch by artist TerinCat, once again using my old drawing as a reference. Going to ask for some additions and adjustments as soon as she sets her price for me and I can send her at least a down payment. I feel like it's a promising start.

Don't be shy with sharing your thoughts--this'll be the future cover illustration for the story. At the same time, keep in mind that a fair amount of this is unfinished/placeholder stuff. Her finished faces are quite a bit differnet, haha.

2/15 Latest update. We did get a rewdrawn Stephanie mouth, but honestly I think it's worse in a lot of ways. Not sure where to go from here asking her to change it. Either need to spend the rest of the day looking through references (probably Milo Manara) or have a reader assist with what I'm trying to convey/what's wrong/what Steph's unsure smile needs to be able to look right.

Looks good to start, but those faces with empty mouths and eyes are nightmare fuel!

Agreed. I feel like I'm going to drive this artist crazy with how nitpicky I'm gonna be on the faces in particular.

I. Ronical

With how detailed your characters are it'd be more surprising if this didn't end up being the case.

FortySixtyFour

Haha, it sucks because I really hate to nag, especially when it's a fellow artist. Might spend tonight digging up extra references, this cover's really important to me.

The privilege of nagging is part of what you're paying for with the commission fee.

Hey body proportions are greadt! Lips tho.......need some work and the eyes oh god the eyes

eersc

i feel Kelly is too skinny, and steph is too tall. Kelly should be more vixeny, an steph more bubblegum cute, maybe add dimples.

I like Kelly's face but the body seems off and Steph looks too confident.

My comment about Steph's ear still stands, the perspective seems like it's messed up and maybe it would be better with full coverage. After considering Steph's face a bit, here's my question: is she aware that Kelly is pulling up her skirt? Because I'd expect her to have a somewhat more embarrassed/indignant expression if that were the case, which would be a way better fit for her early on and also add more depth to the cover overall. Her current expression is somewhat...bland? and also her eyebrows are way too high on her face unless she's deliberately raising them, but there's no lines on her forehead to indicate the corresponding surprise. Even if she isn't aware, her lips look way too full (both physically and also would require some form of makeup which doesn't seem like it would fit her personality/description) and it looks weird because her teeth appear to be showing a bit on both top and bottom--impossible if her lips are actually that huge. Also, hooray for Kelly's left breast finally looking realistic-ish. How close are they supposed to be standing in this? I can't tell if it should look like their chests should be touching?

Ok finally seeing this on my computer and can see the animation. Love the final version of the picture.

Ok I love steph, but after all the work we've done i feel Kelly needs some love, but I've no idea where to start. >.< why don't you give a bit of love for Kelly in your stuff to the artist. But Steph is great!
